And we are tied up again!

Also, I forgot to mention that Mark of the Wolves came in yesterday. No pressure... but if it's a Dreamcast meet, there will be a JP style beat down.

Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Does anyone, who's interested in going, have Dreamcast Virtual On sticks?

If you can find a set of virtual on sticks, I'll change my vote from 16-bit to dreamcast :)

I'm working on the Virtual On sticks. It's going to take some money but I think I can do something better than the official, console version.

Haven't gotten down to play Gundam yet. :(

We should meet up at UFO sometime soon. I'd really like to get some time in on that Gundam cab.

We'll see what kind of time/money I have at the end of the week. I should be pretty free on Friday.


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok... Virtual On sticks. I think it's time to let you guys in on this. I have been watching these auctions for awhile. They have ended, but I contacted the seller and the set is still for sale. This set together would be less than buying an official set of two for the Dreamcast or Saturn. I already know a few people locally who could help consolize them. If this works out and if we have a Dreamcast meet, we won't be playing on console version Virtual On sticks, we will be playing on actual arcade cab sticks.

Slave Deck
Master Deck

Let me know if you can help. I am going to dig through some moderately valuable items to make this happen.

There we go. Redline9 and I finally made it back to UFO. Played a lot of Gundam. Got our asses handed to us by some phantom challenger. We finally started to figure the game out, but it was at about that time that the AI was getting relentless.

Aliens VS Predator was butter on Sanwas. I mopped the deck with Kurasawa while Redline9 played shooting gallery with plasma casters.

Place was jammed by the time we took off.

I will be locking the poll on October 31st. This will give people more time to vote and it will give us time to put together systems and plans for a few months based on which kind of meet wins.

Spread the word and get people involved!
